I made my main character into a wild mage in Baldur's Gate because I thought it would be funny. It is funny. Flaming cows falling from the sky and almost taking out the entire team and the enemies is kinda funny.

What is not funny is realizing that SUDDENLY you are missing 80k in gold and your reputation is somehow at 4 even though you have done nothing to warrant people's hate. I could backtrack enough for the gold, but... well, I guess people are just going to have to hate me despite having done nothing but good. And recruiting drow.

@Norgrath: Wild magic doesn't care. Wild magic does what wild magic wants. I assure you, my charname was most definitely not at a high enough level to summon a vicious hellbeast to murder his enemies and allies alike, but lo and behold...

wild mage for life, their spells are awesome can cast level 8 or 9 spells with a level one slot. Even if my character sometimes ends up a woman for a day in the first game. chaos shield is your friend.

Yes, it breaks up the monotony of the game. But I have to reload if that does happen because viconia flags you as a female and you know you does as well.

I do have pictures of genderbent Neera and Minsc somewhere on my computer though from her quest area.

If anything it would be a fun addition in NWN1:EE. Maybe they could remove glitches from Nat.

I do like using a reckless dwemer to remove spell protections, but I seem to cast heal on the bosses with my wild mage, (Irenicus, and Seravok), for some reason. But they can be quite beastly near the endgame.

@wildmageguy: Accidentally casting mass heal on your own team instead of attacking - perfectly fine.
Accidentally healing even one enemy a little - total and complete outrage, magic has betrayed me, I should stick to hitting people with a stick forever more.

And yes, he's my Bhaalspawn, but I haven't finished the game. I got to Baldur's Gate and then I got distracted alas.
